If New Delhi named a team, would they have won?

Gee Moscow looks pretty solid for the Premiership right now! Have they timed their run poorly though?

@Purple - yes, I think they would have. Cassisi's 12 was its captain

I've PMed Oz re: the situation and what happened, so please reserve judgements till Oz has read and acknowledged my take on it all!

Pretty sure by the looks of it Harry has been counted in our score anyways (thanks Oz!) so hopefully all good. :)

I like being wrong in this case :) Well done Seoul!

@Toga, I've read the email - thanks for doing it quickly - I'm pretty appeased. Do you mind saying something similar in this thread?

Yeah, Taylor came in at quarter points.

Toga · June 30, 2013, 08:55:56 PM

Okay, so basically the situation: I have named the team every week so far since Q and I took over; this week due to time restraints I asked Q to name the team... And as you all know, Harry Taylor was somehow indadvertedly overlooked for selection this week.

The last time we named a team was in WXV R11 (AFL R11+12), where Harry Taylor did not play at all because a) he was rested in Round 12, and, b) he had the bye during AFL R12. As you all know, we were not required to name a WXV team during AFL R13, due to state of origin, which meant that last named team for Beijing did not contain Harry Taylor.

Now when Q named the team for this week, he used the WXV R11 team I named as a template, and made adjustments to the team accordingly while checking the AFL R14 changes... Since Harry returned during R13, he was not listed on the changes for this week, which lead to Master Q making an honest mistake in overlooking him for selection this week.

As for replacements, Josh Hunt wasn't named because he's been sub every week, and we weren't even aware Michael Talia was even on our list (so we need to find an up-to-date team list at some point), as the list we inherited from bomberboy/JROO weren't up-to-date obviously.

And finally, as for that article about Harry Taylor earlier in the week, that was a way we thought we might be able to express that HT is on the trade table come EOS, as we have received some PM's stating interest in acquiring him from some of you guys... The article was simply a way to let everyone know he is on the table!

Hope everyone understands all this, and are satisfied that nothing malicious was involved with the mistake - all it was was an honest mistake on our part, which won't be happening again I am sure. :)
